Default Ever have one of those nights.........

Ever have one of those nights when you feel sorry for the next poor bastard that pisses you off?
Tonight is one of those nights, I already had to apologize to the old lady twice! And my buddy is hiding in the back yard somewhere or he left, I don't know.....
